Brook was ringside to run the rule over Khan at the Echo Arena. "I wanted to prove a point".

Since then, Khan recovered from an operation on his right hand and took part in the British survival reality television game show "I'm a Celebrity.Get Me Out of Here!" which averaged between eight and ten million viewers every day for two weeks in the United Kingdom. At the moment I'm a 147 [pounds] fighter.

"It does feel back to business again, and this is the business I love doing", the 31-year-old said.

If my prediction comes true and Khan wins, they have to make the Kell Brook vs. AmirKhan fight.

"The weight is an issue with Kell, I'm a 147lb fighter". The Bolton fighter, known for his lightning quick hand speed, set about Lo Greco from the bell and an early knockdown was a sign of things to come. I came here to do a job, do a clinical job and box well.

"In America, I was fighting there because I wanted to make a big name for myself and globally become a star".

"I want to thank all the fans for turning out and enjoying my victory".
